Description
There is a number of packages (daf_ingest, obs_sdss, obs_lsstSim, daf_persistence) that contains unit tests which communicate with a database server. When the usual database server at NCSA is not up, or not reachable, the tests are skipped.
It should be possible to do something more useful via mocking. For example, it may be possible to record and serialize a passing unit test's database interactions with a live instance, and to play back those interactions via mocks of the DBAPI connection and cursor classes when no live database is available.

Though I don't know much about this particular database, I have some experience with python mocks in tests, so I'd be happy to help in that regard.
Thanks John, it'll be appreciated 
. I assigned it to you. Simon Krughoff OK'ed it. Let me know if you need any help / assistance from the Database Team.
It looks like I may have some time this month post-All Hands. If this is still needed, does someone want to chat with me about it during the AHM?
Fritz please coordinate, I added you to the watchers list
My spare time to look at this is rapidly running out: if you want me to take a look this month, please speak up!
I think this work was done in DM-13822
Jacek Becla - KT suggested I assign this to you for consideration
